O-I To Spend 30M Euros In Harlow

O-I recently announced it is to invest 30M/Euros in its Harlow plant to focus on the UK beer market. The company proposes to build a new furnace with latest technology in Harlow, replacing the plant's two existing furnaces, which are reaching the end of life. In addition, O-I intends to install quality equipment. Up to 47 employees will be affected by the planned changes. O-I is in consultation with employee representatives and will collaborate to minimise the impact on employees, including job relocation to other O-I facilities and outplacement service support. On completion of the investment, the plant will continue to employ around 120 people.
